On July 22nd, Great Smoky Mountains Railroad #1702 will return to excursion service. I couldn't be more excited as this is my favorite locomotive and the one that got me into railroading. They will also be running an 8 hour photo run from Dillsboro to the Nantahala Gorge with two run-bys. I would absolutely love to be on that train and I'm going to look into getting off work for it.
